what would be the ideal rpms to get up to for a fast off the line start ....before you burn or spinout the wheels...???
in a 6 sp 95 Z lt1

 

To many factors. Things like tires, suspension mods and track conditions all come into play. Try s slipping the clutch out rather fast from 2000 rpm and see what happens.

 

This is all trial and error till u get it right. Each car is different, each track is different and is constantly changing. The more runs u get under your belt the better u going to get at it, and the better u will be able to cope with changes. Drag strip racing is a little more involved than than just following a formula. The best part is that u can't BS about the results, can't argue with time slips. Basically u want as little wheel spin as possible without causing the engine to bog.
